Re: [IRCA] NAB wants it both ways

What's worse? Past is prologue, that's what. They made the worst possible 
choice. Now, they'll dig in. Isn't this the 90s Model? From among many good 
roads, choose the road to perdition.
 
 Chris Alexander in R/W this week, states in non-sequiturial fashion, as if 
to placate interference concerns, pro-iBLOC gang will make revisions as needed.
 
OK. Let's have at it, shall we, old sport? Right. What revisions? 

iBLOC eats one hundred percent of time and frequency domain. Even at low 
power, it jams at great distance yet cannot be decoded at short range.
 
 What fix? What mod? If it's is so simple, why not fix it now?
 
  As others note, you can lower the power. It won't cut interference, but it 
will limit decodable range to the transmitter room.
 
    -  Or   -
 
Turn off this turkey, as WABC execs recently stated would be the ideal fix.
 
   -  Or   -
 
 
Dr. Zecchino's Rx? You ask? You receive,
 
Dr. Zecchino's Rx:

Greasze off - yet again - FCC. Gain your ends. Dump analog. Go all digital, 
full snot. When listeners complain, adhere to HD Tradition. Tell them, "We're 
going digital! Get over it!" 
 
 Tell millions of listeners to junk their radios and buy HD Stooge sets. 
Wasn't that the quietly hoped for outcome of this hinky plan to jam one's way to 
riches and control?
 
 Wanna slay the analog beast for good? Squeamishness won't do. Thrust the 
dagger. When blood gushes from its runnels, twist it, do so until you hear the 
clicketty-pop of bone-flecks busting from rib. Kill old fashioned, 'buggy-whip' 
analog. Do it now!
 
 Shove your digital wunderkind at American Citizens, rip analog from them, 
and spit in their face, BigBiz Style, as you sashay smugly off to the bank.
 
Go ahead. What's to stop you?

The Radio Industry stinks of fear. They've a loser on their carpet, and none 
have the stomach to squat down and clean it up.
 
  Oh, you might wish to call those run the cruise industry. Yeah, ships have 
HF backup and passenger-shoreside comms are mostly via satellite. TVs abound. 
But, still, the sea has an odd way of disrupting the most clever of digital 
schemes.
 
So, crise ship execs suggest passengers pack a radio, 'to keep informed'. How 
very quaint of them!
